Re: ODS 7.22 on IRIX
Joe, after I sent you about IRIX versions I noted your reference to
ipcs. If you are having shared memory/semaphore troubles my
immediate suspicion is that the recommended system tuning hasn't
been done. There is a README with the install listing desried
(more like required) parameters. Just a guess, but this is what
leaps to my mind. Also, I have a little script called 'clear' you
might be interested in, let me know.
